Review: Fischer Transalp 92 CTI Pro

By

The Fischer Transalp Pro 92 CTi is a solid option for steep skiing for those who like a slightly higher cambered ski underfoot.

Intro Here we have another dive into another iteration of the new for 2024 Fischer Transalp CTi series. In the spring, Slator Aplin reviewed and enjoyed the western daily driver 105mm model, and here we have the 92 Pro version.  Stepping back, Fischer ditched the Hannibal and old Transalp series and launched the Transalp CTi…

    Excellent review–I’ve been looking forward to it!

    I didn’t get along with the Zero G 95, and usually opted for the 105 even though it was heavier. The Fischers seem like a good option for me.

    I’m 180cm tall, and have the Zero G 95s and 105s in a 178cm. Not sure whether I should size down to the 169cm in the Fischers. How tall are you Gavin?

      Hey Alex,

      I’m 6’1”, 180lbs. I have skied both the 180cm zero g 105 as more of a daily driver, as well as a 172cm 0G 105 as more of a high mountain/expedition ski. That being said, if firm or 2d snow is the objective of the ski, I find the added maneuverability of shorter lengths outweighs the lack of stability at speed or shorter effective edge. I’ve sold a few even bigger friends on shorter skis, and they have more or less universally enjoyed them in the right context- I’d say give it a try!

        Good advice, makes sense. I wonder if I’d have liked the 95s more in a shorter length. I love the 180cm 105s but they are tough to swing through steep kick turns! I’ll try these in 169cm, thanks!

    Gavin, Any thoughts on the non-Pro version of these and if the camber trampoline effect in steeps would be minimized while keeping the positives?
    I’ve been a big fan of the 105 cti in a 171 for my spring escapades, but would like something in between those and my 64mm skimo skis.

      Hey Stephen,

      I can try to get the official word from Fischer on the difference, but it seems likely that the camber and overall profile would be similar between the pro and non pro (I bet they come out of the same mold). Perhaps though, the camber would be less strong and therefore less trampoline-y than the Pro. I don’t think you’d go wrong with either option.
